Je veux savoir d'où tu tiens ça.

English Translation

I want to know where you got that from.

I looked for a long time in different dictionaries for the definition on this one where tenir means receive or get (not through inheritance). I found it on the Larousse dictionary website.

tenir =
16. Avoir reçu ou obtenu quelque chose de quelqu’un : De qui tenez-vous ce renseignement ?
